2003 Bevier Blast & Ace Race

[jim]

Everyone over the age of 6 must play PRO or Jay will kick your butt.

[jim]

Jay, can you please add Barry Gilbert to the Men's Open division? He paid cash. THANKS!

[jim]

I have secured a photographer for the Blast. John Bates (not Kirsten's uncle who made the CDs) will be doing it for a small fee (perhaps paid in plastic). We pay for film and developing.  We are setting this up as a professional deal. Myk, read your pm please.

[jim]

Cool!

Thanks, Brett!  That's the first I heard of it. PDGA did not contact me.

Mirth/Jay, can you please webify the status?

THANKS!

[jim]

WPD has officially nixed the moving of Basket #9.  Why? Because their map/legend at Tee #1 would then be wrong.  They see that as a priority over safety (not usual for WPD).

I will work on it more, with help from other members.

In the meantime, for the Blast, we will rope off an area between Basket #9 and the soccer field, just in case casual soccer players gather there.  But I am expecting no conflicts.

[jim]

As TDs, the charming and personable Messers Klem and Deardorf shall take care of all things disgruntling. We shall have a letter (oooh, a missive) from the right honorable deity, the "Trigg" which shall wipe away all soccer conflicts.

BTW, who speaks Spanish.....?????



Yes, a temp will be on hand just in case. Should be fine.

[jim]

All players ARE welcome to try and play above their rated division.  :)

I understand that Alex Bingman probably will NOT be playing the Blast, so that might open up the Pro division a little......



Brett, thanks for the tape and paint. EXCELLENT!  The yellow marker rope for Basket 9 area are appreciated.

Also, I cannot find the document with the re-measured distances for all the holes.  Can you please get me your recent results? Sorry. I'm a big dork.  Also need the distances for ABC.  THANKS! Please email them to me ASAP.



We will also need help from at least one person immediately after or during the awards/prizes presentation. Myk and I will be busy totalling scores and presenting awards. We need someone to set up temporary tees for the Ace Race. THANKS!

[jim]

I'd like a minimum of three players in any division, even womens divisions.  It sucks that there still aren't many female players, especially locally.

But I am not comfortable having a 2-woman division because the payouts will be so low that, to me, is demeaning.

Having a 1-player division is just plain silly.

So, if say Barrett White and Becky show up, I will ask Barrett to play with the Pro men and Becky to play with the Am or Adv men, whichever she wants.  In this case, I would want to make sure they did receive prizes for being brave souls.

I will have to re-check the PDGA's rules and advisings about this.

Also asked BC for his input.

Cannot check the PDGA website because its been down for 2 days now, so I will check the literature when I get home.

[jim]

PDGA.com was acting weird around noon; pdga mess board was down for over an hour.



As for opening up an Am Womans division, your soapbox jibberish makes sense, especially after relating Becky's story in the IO. I did not know she was a division.



Question/Scenario:

Say we do open up an Am Womens div, and only Becky shows up.

Then SallyJo shows up and asks us to open up a Pro Womens div. Do we?

What if BobbiSue then shows up and wants a Womens Rec div opened up.

Do we accommodate all as requested?  I understand that their entry fees would be their payout base, so we wouldn't lose any money, but is that SOP for sanctioned-events?

Just wondering.

My goal (all of ours, I'm sure) to to accommodate all players and to attract more women players. Will doing this have any adverse effect?

[jim]

It was supposed to be funny.....

:)

I will email BW and see if she's planning on coming. Heck, I'll email Juliana and Des for that matter.



Will Becky and /or other Brakel women be attending?

[jim]

We just confirmed that

HYZERHURTHS.COM

will sponsor our event once again with a couple of CTPs!!! WOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO!  :)

Thanks, Josh!

Also, ROCKENBACH CHEVY of Grayslake has become our newest club sponsor!!!!  More info on their tourney-specific portion of sponsorship to come.....

MUCH THANKS TO AL FRIELLO and ROCKENBACK CHEVROLET!!!!!!!

Also, Barry Gilbert has donated a new Epic for a CTP!  Thanks Barry!



Also, Pat Wood will NOT be playing, but I cannot call him names because he has donated his entry fee to the club!  We will add another CTP with that cash!  THANKS PAT, even though we'd rather have you there to play with!



Things are really coming together!

[jim]

Jonn, unless Jay set up electronic registration on auto-destruct, pre-reg is fine.

[jim]

yep, I'm planning on it.



And we got ANOTHER sponsor!

My wife, Kirsten, is donating three (about $70 worth) yummy Tastefully Simple gift packs. One is a dessert box, one is a spices box, one is a sauce box.  All very good stuff.  We'll use 'em as CTP prizes.

Jim,

On the PDGA thread, you posted under PDGA Issues. You may want to change it to the 2003 Tournament Thread.
